I am active in my own community of Columbia, MD, to support biofiltration of water by having rain gardens, berms, water channels, and rain barrels to keep all rain water on my property and protect the stream behind our house that leads to the Chesapeake Bay. I have also replaced all grass with native plant gardens. Through my garden club I have produced brochures on details of how to achieve water retention and use of organic planting.

Thank you EMU.
